Answer:HNO₃ and NO³⁻ would not function as buffer

Explanation:

The buffer solution are usually prepared by using any weak acid (which would partially dissociate) and mixing this weak acid with its own conjugate base or any weak base (which would partially dissociate) and mixing with with its conjugate acid.

A buffer solution is a solution which resists change in pH of the solution.

Since nitric acid is a very strong acid and hence neither nitric acid HNO₃ or its conjugate base NO³⁻ anionb is suitable for the preparation of buffer solution.

HCO³⁻ is a weak acid and hence it can form a buffer solution with its conjugate base CO₃²-. so they can be used to form buffer.

C₂H₅COOH is a weak acid and hence it can also form buffer solution with its conjugate base.

So only HNO₃and NO³⁻ would not be able to form buffer

So option a is the answer.

What is the de Broglie wavelength, in cm, of a 11.0-g hummingbird flying at 1.20 x 10^2 mph?

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:1.123 x 10^-31cm

Explanation:

mass of humming bird= 11.0g

speed= 1.20x10^2mph

but I mile = 1.6m

1km=1000

I mile = 1.6x10^3m

1.20x10^2mph= 1.6x10^3m /1mile x at 1.20 x 10^2

=1.932 x10^5m

recall that

1 hr= 60 min

1 min=60 secs, 1hr=3600s

Speed = distance/ time

=1.932 x10^5 / 3600= 5.366 x 10 ^1 m/s

m= a 11.0g= 11.0 x 10^-3kg

h=6.626*10^-34 (kg*m^2)/s

Wavelength = h/mu

= 6.626*10^-34/(11 x 10^-3 x 5.366x 10^1)

6.63x10^-34/ 590.26x 10 ^-3= 1.123 x10^-33m

but 1m = 100cm

1.123 x 10 ^-33 x 100 = 1.123 x 10^-31cm

de broglie wavelength of humming bird = 1.123 x 10 ^-31cm

Read the descriptions below of two substances and an experiment on each. Decide whether the result of the experiment tells you t

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

Sample A is a mixture

Sample B is a mixture

Explanation:

For sample A, we are told that the originally yellow solid was dissolved and we obtained an orange powder at the bottom of the beaker. Subsequently, only about 30.0 g of solid was recovered out of the 50.0g of solid dissolved. This implies that the solid is not pure and must be a mixture. The other components of the mixture must have remained in solution accounting for the loss in mass of solid obtained.

For sample B, we are told that boiling started at 66.2°C and continued until 76.0°C. The implication of this is that B must be a mixture since it boils over a range of temperatures. Pure substances have a sharp boiling point.
